We’ve shared some of our all-time
favourite beauty products before, but everyone’s makeup case is in need of
a few additions every once in a while, right? It’s a relatively inexpensive
treat and we’re basically powerless to resist when we read about a new product on Twitter or our favourite beauty blogs. Today, we want to share the love for a few new (or new
to us) products that have given us a little boost this fall.

Today’s post was inspired by Debra, who wanted to spread the
word about Revlon’s Just
Bitten Kissable Balm Stain ($9). Shaped like a giant crayon, this interesting
lipstick/lip balm combination offers colour that lasts through long nights on
the event circuit, while the gel formula is hydrating and smoothing. If you
want to copy her lovely bright lips this season, pick this up, stat.

Andie created a sensation in the office with her long and
thick lashes this fall, causing us to question whether she’d sprung for eyelash
extensions. Nope, it’s actually the amazing new Benefit “they’re
real” mascara ($29). Gamechanger – promise. She’s also loving Caudalie
Beauty Elixir ($48) for a refreshing pick-me-up during long days.

Abby has been rocking a dark lip at events and red carpets
across the city. If you catch her reapplying, you’ll find out her favourite
shade this season is Rebel
by MAC ($15).

Ashley D. falls for any product with an innovative gimmick and loves the new
Clarins
3-Dot Liner ($26), an eyeliner pen with three tips that make it easy and quick to
apply liner to the root of the lashes.

Lisa recently went darker with her hair colour, calling for
a more enhanced brow. She’s raving about Vasanti Cosmetics Cape
Town Universal Brow Powder ($15). A great option if you want to try the fuller
brow look this season, or if you went a little tweezer-happy and require damage
control.

Disclaimer: Consonant Skincare is a client, but Christina can’t stop talking about the benefits she’s seen from using their new moisturizing serum HydrExtreme ($72/$149). It’s done wonders
for dry patches without irritating her sensitive skin. (And she’s not the only one thrilled with the results – the product just won the 2012 Canadian Beauty
Innovation Award!)
